this should be a major learning experience for Reid Nichols when it comes to scouting college pitchers. I want to know why this kid was throwing mid 90s his sr year in college and then was down 10 MPH a year later?

What a pile. What was his signing bonus? Ugh. Really an indictment of the Brewers drafting of pitchers. These kinds of mistakes are made on HS pitchers with huge upside. To make this type of blunder on a college pitcher is bad.

The Scout who made this kind of blunder & signing should be out of a job if he continues to miss on talent like this. To make such a huge mistake on a number one, really sets back a club on their future plans.

This is totally unexceptable, as far as the Brewers brass should be concerned... totally.
